A BBC is a special type of small group. There are three essential diferences from the small or home group many folk are more famaliar with.

1. A BBC has an apprentice and typically uses triads for indepth sharing and accountability.  Triads are small groups within the group. 

2. A BBC is linked with others in a “Cluster”.  A typical cluster is three to five BBC's.  A Supervisor cares for the BBC pastors and oversees the training of their Apprentices.

3. A BBC is not a study group.  Scipture is referred to and used in ministry between members of the Group.  BBC's are aimed at spiritual transformation.
